Penalty Kill Icing*

Everyone knows Calgary signed ROR to offersheet yesterday, and Avalanche had potential compensation of 1st + 3rd round picks had they not matched. But Avs matched.
But, Calgary would've lost 1st and 3rd round picks for nothing! What surfaced out today was that Ryan O'Reilly had to clear waivers before playing for Flames (this rule doesn't apply if he returns to his own team). This comes from the fact that O'Reilly played in KHL game even after regular season started in NHL (he played on Jan 21, so he must clear waivers).
Don't know who's more foolish here:
Feaster: for making a deal, where was going to give away 1st and 3rd round pick for a player who would've gone to Columbus!
Sherman: For not using this as a leverage against Flames to get a separate lop-sided deal, and threatening Feaster of not matching the offer-sheet if Flames didn't accept it.

Too funny all around
@mods: I know this is not Leafs related, but this is too big to miss for other Leafs fans who don't check the assigned thread. Let it be here, and it will eventually die out.
